Backhead is generally supposed to be
kind of skin worm, but this is false
idea. The truth is simply this The skin,
either from the lack of cleanliness or
activity, or both, has failed to remove
the waste materials from the pores, and
the blackhead is formed from dirt adher
ing to the oily substance Of the gland. l
was recently explaining to friend what
blackheads We're, he having some on his
face, and he Immediately exclaimed,
my face is not dirty" mo" l said,
"of course not. but do you use soap when
you wash your face" No, he did not.
"And do you rub your face hard and dry
after washing?" No, he did not; he
thought rubbing would make the face
red and it was red enough now.
That is exactly why his face was red
and sore with pimples. 1t had not been
rubbed for that process stimulates the
circulation of the blood in these parts,
which causes healthy action of the skin
and removes the waste matter from the
glands. What have been try
ing to convey is just so sure as you use
plenty of good soap and water and then
rub your face hard until it is perfectly
dry and smooth once day-but the Oft
ener the sooner will good results show
Just so sure will you make great improve
ment in your complexion. Only rub a
little carefully unal you have toughened
the skin and you will soon be surprised
to find what an amount of rubbing it will
bear. Hard rubbing will make the skin
as fine as silk, and to the touch it will feel
like satin. Herald of Health.

A family of Florida natives recently passed

to 10 years old, were almost exactly the

lay The dream troubled him and he went
to that spot on the bank Of the river where
he had stood in his dream, and sure enough
there was the ripple in the shallow stream.
He called a boatman to row him out, and
reaching below the water, grasped some
thing and told the man to row to shore He
had grasped the foot of the drowned boy.
This is said to be the fifth body mysteriously
missing that Uncle Joe has located.

A process for making writing paper
from seaweed has been brought out in
England. The weed is boiled with car
Donate of soda, and the filtered solution
is treated with sulphuric acid. This
yields a paste more viscous than gum

properly utilized. After this paste is re-
moved, the fibrous matter left is made

Retain the Tobacco Tax.
RECORD

It has been asserted by high-tarif Or
CANS that the treasury would have been
relieved of its endorsements if Speaker
Carlisle had consented to repeal OF the
tobacco tax in the last Congress. This is
q poor plea Arepeal Of the tobacco tax
would have reduced the surplus only to
the amount of 1927. 900, 900, and the high
tariff obstructionists on both sides Of the
House would agree to nothing OF impor-
lance beyond this in the Wav OF revenue
reduction. They wanted to repeal the
tobacco tax in order to prevent any in
terferance with the tax of raw materials
and on articles of necessity. To that the
advocates of a sound fiscal policy can
never consent.
Besides, who csn assert that majority
IN the last Congress would have voted for
q repeal Of the tobacco tax, even II the
rules of the House should have been sus-
pended for that purpose2 A good many
moderate Republicans. who remember
that the internal revenue system is part
OF the policy Of their party, are opposed
TO interference with it. These Republl
cans have not abandoned their opinion
mat better system of revenue could mo-
be devised than that which taxes drinl
and smoke. They revolt at the PROPOSE
ron that the voluntary take
which men pay for sucl
Injuries should be repealed IN OF
oer TO maintain taxes on raw material

THE MONEY MARKETS.
During the past week the New York
money market has exhibited an in
crease of the more confident feeling
noted last week, with evidence OF the
presence of an increased supply OF loan
able funds. It would seem, however,
that this was manifested more in the
facility with which loans could be eff
facted than in the relaxation Of rates,
though particularly IN call loans slightly
lower level of interest might be noted.
The statement of bank averages on Sstur-
dey showed that the banks were in &
decidedly better condition at the close OF
last week, and it would appear that the
somewhat smaller offerings OF bonds to
the Treasury in the early part OF the week
had no disquieting effect in financial cir
Giles. The larger amount of the tenders
later in the week would, however, have
extended q reassuring influence and fur
Their receipts of gold from Europe were
also OF benefit. Money on call
has been in good supply, and
loaning rates for bankers balances On
the Stock Exchange have ranged from 3
to 6 per cent, with the mai 1rity Of loans
at from 4 to 5, which rates about repre-
sent the figures obtained by banks and
institutions Time money cannot be
quoted either IS easy or plentiful, but it
seems that such loans have been offered
to q greater extent than has lately been
the case, and the lndisposision to renew
corporate and other loans falling due is
less marked. Offerings, however, are
usually in limited amounts, and
6 per cent. rates, with collateral above
the average, are demanded, though this
rate has been hsded in some instances
on extra collateral. The tendencies in re-
gard to commercial paper are somewhat
Irregular. Some institutions are reported
as more liberal buyers of paper, but this
is still by no means general, and discount
rates, though in some instances shaded
below those of last week are firm. Choice
double named paper is spoken OF IS haV-
ing been bought below per cent, and
extre single names have been placed at e
per cent. or slightly higher. Paper OF
low grade has been quoted at anywhere
from 81 to s per. cent, and even higher
rates are still spoken Of Brsdstreet's

dsy fled statement in Common Pleas
Court No. 4 against the United States
Mutual Accident Association OF New

1887, Mr.. Deacon, Gas was his custom
after having bRthed," so reads his state
ment, "wss cutting his toenails, and
while in the act of cutting and trimming
the nail on his great toe on the right foot
the knife which he was using accidentally
and Unexpectedly slipped snd cut open
the flesh and iUJ ured the end OF the toe,
Whereupon the toe, because OF said cut,
immediately became sore and 1nnamed
and continued and increased in soreness
snd Inflammation and getting worse
and worse, until said toe was greatly
infimed and swollen, involving the right
leg and groin in symptoms OF blood
poisoning" This accident confined
plaintiff to his house and bed until the
10th of April. For this total disability he
claimed $50 from the insurance CON-
psny. By letter, dSted June 8, 1887, the
Insurance company wrote him as fol-
lows: "The auditing committee have re-
turned the papers in the matter of your
claim without approval, as the evidence
received does not show that you sus-
tsined any accidental injury from external
violence within the meaning OF an accl-
dent insurance policy. The trouble with
your toe was dueIto the ingrowing tee
nail, which you trimmed too much, caus-
ing the Inflammation to set up. This IS
not regarded IS an accident within the
meaning of an accident policy"
